Transaxle Installation
TRANSAXLE: ELECTRIC VEHICLE
WARNING
• Be sure retaining ring is properly seated in its groove. If ring is not properly installed, the axle
assembly will separate from the transaxle and damage the axle assembly and other components. Loss
of vehicle control could result in severe personal injury or death.
12. Make sure the drain plug (22) is installed in the transaxle and tightened to 23 ft·lb (31 N·m). Fill the transaxle,
through the level indicator hole, with 22 ounces of SAE 30 API Class SE, SF, or SG oil (a higher grade may also
be used). Install and tighten the level indicator plug (21) to 23 ft·lb (31 N·m).

If using a chain hoist, raise the vehicle and place transaxle in position on the jack stands. If using a floor jack,
lower the jack stands to their lowest settings and place the transaxle in position on the jack stands.

Align the center hole in the saddle of the transaxle with the pilot bolt in the leaf spring assembly.
3.
Install the two U-bolts, jounce bumper mount (if required), and spacers, lock washers, and nuts. Tighten the nuts
to 25 ft·lb (34 N·m). Tighten the U-bolt nuts so an equal amount of thread is visible on each leg of the bolt.
4.
Install the motor.
See Motor Installation on page 17-15.
5.
If using a chain hoist, lower the vehicle while guiding the leaf springs into the rear spring shackles. If using a
floor jack, raise the differential while guiding the leaf springs into the rear spring shackles. Then raise the jack
stands to support the transaxle.
6.
Connect the motor wires, making sure they are connected to the correct motor terminals and that the terminal
orientation is correct. Hold the bottom nut of stud with wrench and tighten the terminal retaining nuts. For 5/16
inch (8mm) diameter studs, tighten the nuts to 100 in·lb (11 N·m). For 1/4 inch (6.3mm) diameter studs, tighten
the nuts to 45 in·lb (5.0 N·m).
See following NOTE.
NOTE:
If the motor wires were not tagged when disconnected, refer to the wiring diagram for proper connection.
See Wiring Diagrams on page 13-3.

Insert bolts through the spring shackles and bushings in the leaf spring eyes. Secure bolts with lock nuts.
Tighten to 18.5 ft·lb (25 N·m).
